Project A-Kon

Come and see me at Project A-Kon this weekend in Dallas! I'm cutting and cutting as much vinyl as my machine can handle getting ready for this coming weekend. I'll be selling in the artist alley as Stickerella, and will be happy to take custom orders, and fill orders for my current vinyl designs as well. Also, I'm just happy to sit and chat when things calm down a bit.

Sorry to make such a short post and run, but there's a lot to do before this weekend! Hope to see you there.

Rock Out With Your Spock Out - Star Trek Vinyl Decal

Here's a short update before I make the 6 hour trek home. Hope you enjoy it!

"Nowhere am I so desperately needed as among a shipload of illogical humans." Now Spock can travel with your crew to the grocery store for beer. Well, not really, but this highly illogical decal is sure to make folks on the road laugh on the way. Just in time for the new movie :D (I'm totally geeking out about it)



Check it out in the Sci-Fi and Horror section of my Etsy shop!

Conventions and more decals!

I just got finished with Aggiecon back in College Station. Aggiecon was the convention that I was a part of during my years at Texas A&M University, and I love to go back and meet all the new kids and see how my friends are doing. This year I got a dealer's table, and my decals flew out of my hands. So, now I'm working on getting into several more shows in the near future. If you're somewhere in or around Texas, and have an idea for a Sci-Fi, Horror, or Fantasy convention you'd like me to vend at, just let me know!

So far, I'm set for sure to do A-Kon. I just got verification this morning, and I'm totally stoked to be going back. I'm planning to attend Delta H Con at the University of Houston, and Comicpalooza, but I'll be sure to post once I get verification for both of those.

I've got a lot of new decals available in my shop too! And I'll be adding more as time goes on. There are several commission pieces I need to do still, and I'll have more drawn images available in a few weeks. Suggestions? Let me know!

Vinyl Decal giveaway!

I will be adding the last of my new vinyl decal designs to Stickerella today and tomorrow. I'm really excited about how well received this whole venture has been, and it's got my head buzzing with new ideas!

New decals

Things have been really busy over here, but I've started to list new vinyl decals right on schedule. Today's are some of my favorites, I listed five different decals I designed to look like creatures found on medieval heraldry.



Another that I really like was this one based on HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu. There will be more coming tomorrow as well. I'm really enjoying expanding on this shop!

To see everything I've listed so far, check out Stickerella

Fun with Wacom

I've been busy for the past week playing with my newest toy, a Wacom Bamboo Fun! It's not the big tablet that I'd like to have one day, but it's a great first step, and it's made designing new vinyl decals insanely easier. I've got a whole bunch of new, hand drawn vinyl designs ready to add to my decal store.

When I first began Stickerella it was just a side project that allowed me to have my own vinyl cutter, and let me help other Etsy sellers make custom URL decals to advertise their shops at low prices. I've helped a lot of people make custom decals, and I've really loved interacting with all of my fellow Etsiers, and to be honest, the vinyl machine has kind of grown on me (think Akira :P). One of my new year's resolutions was to completely revamp Stickerella, and bring it up from a secondary project placing it side by side with my studio shop.

David and I talked quite awhile about the direction I'd like to take the shop. In the end, I decided to make it something truly me. Decals will be Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Horror, Gaming, Medieval, Religious, and of course, Crafting themed! I'm still very happy to work with Etsy sellers to design affordable custom decals, since I love working with other sellers.

I'm still working on art, still working on Alice, and definitely still working on my wedding, so no worries about this replacing any of those things. I plan to start posting new designs on the 26th, and will have some fun giveaways and stuff planned as well!

Thank Goodness it's Friday

I'm so glad that it's Friday. First up, let me get some business info out of the way:

I'm doing a special give away in my Stickerella shop! Every order over $10 will get a free large orange ETSY decal. I'm doing my part to help spread the word about our great venue in time for the holiday season. It's also a great chance to get a custom shop decal to advertise yourself for the holidays too.

I think I forgot to mention that I've got my coloring books listed now! You can see it HERE

Hubby and I have been brainstorming a new business venture to focus on in time for Christmas craft shows. Supplies have been rolling in the mail, and we can finally start putting things together. That will also mean that we have a new shop to run within the next month, so I'll post more about that soon too. Morrigan is going to stay with her Nana tomorrow so we can spend the whole day working in the studio.

I found a great new band today, and I just have to share. Powerglove. It's a great power metal band that covers old video game music. It's too fun! They're coming in concert this November with Dragonforce (another band I love!) So it may have to be a special birthday present for myself.

I tried to start working on my YouTube video of my newest painting (the dragon I posted before). When I tried setting up my camcorder, I discovered that the cord that I'd need to pull video onto my computer isn't included with the DIGITAL videocamera. Honestly? They included a USB cable so I can pull still photos off (of my VIDEO CAMERA) but not video?? And of course, the DV cable is $30. Grr. So, the painting has to wait till the cable comes in. I've been using this time to refine my sketch though, and I'm really excited about it all.

I am SO tired guys. Thank goodness it's Friday.
